About this Research Topic
Background:
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a promising tool in the fields of motor control and rehabilitation. By non-invasively stimulating specific brain regions, TMS can modulate neural activity and provide insights into the mechanisms underlying motor behavior. Researchers are exploring how TMS can be used to improve motor function in various populations, including individuals with stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions.
Goal:
The goal of this Research Topic is to gather cutting-edge research on the application of TMS in motor control and motor rehabilitation. We aim to address key questions such as the optimal stimulation parameters, the effectiveness of TMS in different patient populations, and the potential for combining TMS with other therapeutic interventions. By synthesizing the latest findings in this area, we hope to advance our understanding of how TMS can be harnessed to improve motor outcomes and inform future research directions.
Scope and Information for Authors:
We invite contributions that explore the use of TMS in motor control and rehabilitation from various perspectives, including but not limited to:
- Mechanistic studies investigating the neural effects of TMS on motor circuits
- Clinical trials assessing the efficacy of TMS interventions in motor rehabilitation
- Methodological advancements in TMS techniques for motor assessments
- Reviews and meta-analyses summarizing the current state of knowledge in this field
Authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, reviews, clinical trials, and methodological papers that contribute novel insights to the growing body of literature on TMS in motor control and motor rehabilitation.
